Hey, Sketch, thanks for the response. Here's one thing you wrote the essence of which I've been reading, oh, for the last three years or so,

"You can be assured by today's action that plans are in place for one final stand by the cartel."

I suppose if people say it enough times, eventually it will come to pass, but not in this lifetime, I fear. It's bad enough when you get killed in the market, but it sort of makes sense, but yesterday was a breed very much apart from that.
